Be it known that we, HAnnY G. Aliens and lVILLiAM lnnor KAUFMANN, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Malt Products, of which the following is a specification.

For various reasons it is desirable to ohtain malt products which while well adapted to bakers use are unfit for use in the pro duction of'potable alcoholic liquors.

To attain this result it is necessary to find a denaturing ingredient, or ingredients which will so affect the flavor, appearance and keeping qualities of the alcoholic liquor obtained by its use, as to render it undrinkable and which will have no deleterious elliquors or cry feet on the flavor of bread in the production of which it may he used,

It is also or great advantage to use a denaturing ingredient which will have a beneficial sheet in panar t rermentation.

life hare-discovered that the sprouts or coombingsflfrom malt when used in sulliciensl quantity possess the required characteristiesgand'give the rnalt', the property of immune tobeer has other alcoholic disagreeable flavor. The eoombings which normally sprout from a given quantity of malted grain are not sufficient for our purpose, though they are enough to impair the beverage brewed with them present, and coombings, which are ordinarLLv a waste product of malt. houses, are

added in the products which we have disthe proportion of the covered to bring up the malt used coombings to the whole of to about 15% to 30%.

While coombings are probably the best i-denaturing ingredient for our purposes,

other materials mav he employed. For example, vinasses the residue in the distil lation of alcohol from heet ugar or molasses contains much the same soluble ingrcdients as the coombings and may he only stitutcd therefor.

Both coombingzs and vinasses contain similar soluble organic nitrogeneous com pounds and carbohvdrates, and soluble compounds of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and calcium which possess a hitter flavor,

The soluble organic and mineral matters of the denaturants have a valuable stimulating eflect on panary fermentation;

The cooinbings may he introduced, in various ways, for eXample, the coomhlngs may be finely ground and added in proper proportion to malt flour or dry malt extract, or it may he added to the malt, mixed and ground therewith.

T he cooinhings may also be extracted with hot or cold water the solution filtered 0E and concentrated it" necessary and added to the melt.

The coombings also may he mashed with the malt and the mash subsequently treated to obtain malt products.

llf green malt he used it may be" taken with its coomhings, and coomblngs added to give the proper percentage and the mixture milled and mashed.

The above examples are given as indicating a few only out of many ways of securing the proper-combination with the malt of the coombings or the soluble constituents thereof.

What we claim as our invention is 2- 1. As a new article of manufacture, a malt product adapted for bakers use having as its principal constituent malt and containing less than 30% of a denaturing ingredient rendering it unfit for use in the production of notable alcoholic liquors and having no unfavorable efiect or re-action on the diastase of the malt.

2, As a new article of manufacture, a

malt product adapted for-bakers u'se having' asits principal constituent malt and containing less than 30% of a denaturing ingredient rendering it unfit for use in the production of potable alcoholic liquors and more adapted to promote panary fermentation.

3. As a new article of manufacture, a mall; product adapted for loalrers use containing less than 80% of a denaturing ingredient rendering: it unfit for use in the production liquors and having no unfavorable effect or reaction on the diastase of the malt. comprising a mixture of soluble compounds of nitrogen phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and calcium of a hitter flavor.

41-. As a new article of manufacture, a

-in the production of potable approximately 15% to 3 ,4.

- 5. As a new article of manufacture, malt products adapted for bakers use containing,

less than 3070 of coomhings" in suilicicnt proportion to render the uialt unfit for use alcoholic liquors.

6. As a new article of manufacture, a malt product adapted for bakers use containing less than 30% if a denaturing ingredient rendering it unfit for use in the production of potable alcoholic liquors COIIlprising the soluble constituents of cooinbings in the proportion of approximately 15% to 30%. v
